Antique Tabriz Persian Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB1927 7'8" × 10'1" $27,000

This antique Persian Tabriz rug, woven circa 1920 in Iran, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from one of the region’s most respected weaving traditions. Its restrained palette and ordered composition give it a quiet presence that feels distinctly Tabriz, with the finesse collectors expect from an antique Persian rug of this caliber.

The warm tan field is worked in an allover lattice of geometric and botanical motifs, where stylized floral forms and slender cypress-like branches repeat with measured rhythm. Rather than a single medallion, the design unfolds across the surface in a tightly organized trellis, creating movement without disrupting the rug’s formal balance. A multi-border frame in deeper brown tones adds definition and subtly anchors the composition.

Time has softened the pattern, allowing the intricate drawing to read with a mellow, lived-in character that suits both traditional and transitional interiors. Earthy beige, warm taupe, walnut brown, and muted ochre lend the piece a layered tonal depth, making this antique wool Tabriz rug especially appealing for spaces that call for structure, warmth, and understated elegance.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
